"Let the Games Begin"

Our Olympic judges for these events will be FOX, Reuters, and BBC.  It's important our judges remove all bias, providing fair ratings in each competition. 

The events are kicked off with Mitt Romney's European tour, in which he offered up several keynote speeches.  In London, he gave us a peak into his dealing with foreign relations, "It's hard to know how it will turn out.  There were a few things that were disconcerting."  Mr. Romney wore a smile throughout his tour to accompany his speeches, leading many to refer to him as the "presumptive" presidential candidate.

Barack Obama is Mr. Romney's only competitor, and is fighting to hold onto the title of Commander in Chief.  His character in Great Britain is best portrayed by London Mayor, Boris Johnson. During his zip line exhibition, he lingered over the crowd in an awkward position, shaking his fists and quipping, "Go power."  The comical mayor, was unamused by Mr. Romney's suggestion that London was not prepared to take on the summer games.  "There's a guy called Mitt Romney." In response to Mr. Romney's comments in London, Boris Johnson roused the crowd in the opening ceremony with, "Are we ready?"      

We must turn to the judges to see who did best in this first sport of ping pong.  The BBC deducted two points for the zip line event, but are given the mayor a ten for spin.  FOX news also asked, "Was London Ready?" after the zip line.  They deducted five points for the zip line, while awarding Romney a perfect ten for his presumption.  Mr. Romney took a huge 6 point reduction with Reuters, who judged him on his overall performance during his time in London. 

Mr. Romney will participate in the individual medley event as he proceeds to Israel.  Giving viewers another taste of his foreign policy credentials, he based his views on Israel and the Palestine on some reading from outdated sources.  Israel could appreciate his speech, while some Palestinian leaders were offended.  Not all presidential hopefuls can be contenders for a Noble Peace Prize.   

While in the states, President Obama performs an individual medley of his own, signing the Israel Security Bill one day ahead of his competitors visit to Israel.  During this ceremony, he announced 70 million in funding to reaffirm his commitment to the security of Israel.  Mr. Obama has also announced tougher sanctions on Iran, to hit them where it hurts the most, their oil revenues. 

Reuters provides President Obama a nine.  His timing was exceptional; however, he lost a point for not putting Israel more at ease with this announcement.  Reuters' was tough on Mr. Romney deducting 3 points for "lack of knowledge" according to a Palestinian leader, and 3 points for his peace negotiations efforts.  FOX judges hit Obama with point reductions in Israeli relations; his overall rating by FOX in this area is a 1.  They have declared Mr. Romney the winner in the Israel competition with a perfect ten score once again.  It all comes down to the BBC ratings.   Points were deducted for Mr. Romney's controversial remarks, but overall they scored him better in Israel than in London, 7 for Romney.  They provided a higher score for Mr. Obama, as he recognizes the need for intervention not only in Iran, but also with the Muslim Brotherhood and possible destruction of the Egyptian peace treaty with Israel.   

The games continue with the triathlon.  Romney is a front runner as he heads to Poland.  Asking his aide to handle the judges may have hurt his lead.  The news on Mr. Obama is that he's leading in three key states.  The games will continue for a few more months.

Judges will tally their final points in November, determining who won the race to the white house.  Please stay tuned for future coverage.

"Good times and riches and son of a bitches"

Introduced as the, "Buffett Rule", Obama's tax plan is a proposal to be enforced on those who are taking in an income greater than 1 million annually.  In the long run, this may be the wisest move for the economy, as the market would begin performing better if the deficit and unemployment rate were decreasing.  The wealthiest of individuals make their money through investing, and by investing a bit more in taxes they may see greater returns for their dollar.

The world wide greed that has destroyed the economy over the last decade will not improve without some cooperation from all sides of the political spectrum.  Congress contributed to our nation's fall, yet so many of them feel the consequences should lie on the middle and lower classes.  Suggesting they pay at least an equivalent rate to those who have less is "class warfare", according to some.

With the exception of Warren Buffett and the Patriotic Millionaires, there are very few individuals who request to pay higher taxes.  None that I'm aware of, as they are in a class of his own.  Warren Buffett sees the world from a different angle than some of peers who hold power in congress.  He sees the return that could come upon the nation by the contributions deriving from those who would feel it the least.

It's going to be a tough sell to either side of the poll.  More than likely, Obama will gain greater support on this tax hike from his democratic party than his republican opposition.  If there were any republicans who agreed with the idea of taxing the wealthiest individuals to help improve the state of this great nation we live in, they would cast a nay vote because the proposal came from Obama.

Obama supports the idea that everyone pay their fair share of taxes.  He suggests it is unfair for those who make less to pay a higher percentage rate than those who have done well.  Steve Forbes completely disagrees with Obama's proposal.  He believes that the tax code should be simplified, and there should be a flat tax where all Americans pay the same rate on income across the board.  Not at all what Obama's suggesting.

Going Green

President Obama has declared his nomination for the Secretary of Commerce, John E. Bryson.  As an advocate for clean energy, Mr. Bryson, will bring a new air quality to the white house.  Former Secretary, Gary Locke, has been knighted by Obama, as ambassador to China.  Obama sees an opportunity of exporting on the rise with the new delegation.

Mr. Locke is an American that stemmed from Chinese ancestry.  He is married to a former news anchor, whose father was the stepson, of the eldest of all sons, of the former "founding father of Republican China."  Mr. Gary Locke has had a diverse political career ranging from governor, to chairman of house appropriations, secretary of commerce, and possibly next, an ambassador for China.

Mr. Bryson has an impressive background as a director/trustee for several major corporations and funds.  While serving as president of a California energy corp., John E. Bryson succeeded in an agreement he led to cut carbon dioxide emissions by 20% by 2010.  He is recognized as a leader in creating clean energy.

Mr. Obama sees a man who can create jobs out of clean air.  He recognizes Bryson, as a way not only to clean up the atmosphere, but also to line the U.S. treasury pockets with some green.  Uncle Sam gets his a whole lot easier when more folks are employed.  Did Obama pick the right man for the job?  If you look at Bryson's track record, you would likely agree.

If you are a republican in the senate, you may block this nomination on the basis that it came from Obama.  The stand-off began in March, when the Republican Senate threatened to block any nominee selected by the president for the position of Secretary of Commerce.  At least, they are without bias.  They demanded three trade agreements, which are said to be ready, but we all know how Mr. Obama likes to hold onto his documentation.  They'll get them, when they get them.

    My banter was on current affairs and ran from 2011 - 2016. I currently enjoy writing satire and horror shorts.

    I chose themes to run against each current event to bring some entertainment to my Banters. I began writing the banter in February 2011, and wrote my last in February 2016.
